A review by hakimbriki
The Stand by Stephen King

5.0

The Stand is, by a country mile, the best post-apocalyptic novel I have ever read. Writing a 1300-page long epic about 30/40 survivors of a flu plague and making it a legendary, unforgettable story is no daunting task for Stephen King. The Stand is a permanent monument of literature, an exemplification of King's talent for creating the most endearing characters and the cruelest of villains. Easily in my Top 5 favorite books.
